IBM's OS/2 has a great history as a workstation operating system, it was a major alternative OS in the '90s. At its peak time in the mid-'90s OS/2 had about 2 million users but the Windows NT and Windows 95 releases broke its further development. This year Serenity Systems has released a new client version of OS/2. This article will introduce you to what OS/2 is all about. You will learn its history, its user interface, and its power under the hood. The article is also accompanied by a number of screenshots.

I absolutely love ECS! I use it on my home laptop. I had no trouble installing it - everything went really smoothly. All my old apps reinstalled
seamlessly. I run Netscape, Opera for Os/2, openchat/2 with gemZ plugin, att global dialer. I use Lotus SmartSuite - I use 1-2-3, WordPro,
and use the Organizer all the time. I use PMView, KAZip, WarpAmp and FileStar. I even have an old copy of Kitchen Assistant/2 with all
my recipes on it. I have many more applications here .
One thing I WOULD like to see is something like Quicken and a Tax program come out - heck, I pay for my shareware, would be happy to
pay for "household" apps!
